Geez…that’s a pretty tough schedule for the Minutemen who are no longer in the MAC Conference and if we had to guess we would say they will finish with a record of something like….

1 – 11 or 2 – 10

….in 2017.

Can Mark Whipple survive a ONE or TWO win season in his FOURTH year on the job coaching UMass the second time around?

Probably not but an even better question is:

How long can UMass football be awful and survive on the FBS level?

Not for much longer we would think unless they are willing to take a LOT of lumps in the future!

#9 Hot Seat Head Coach – Lance Leipold, Buffalo

So far the move of Lance Leipold from Division III football powerhouse Wisconsin-Whitewater to Buffalo hasn’t gone so well with Leipold in TWO seasons on the job posting records of….

2015: 5 – 72016: 2 – 10

Overall: 7 – 17

MAC: 4 – 12

Clearly Lance Leipold knows how to coach football on the Division III level which is certainly something much different than coaching in FBS…even in the MAC Conference…where it’s great talent + coaching that leads to a lot of wins and if you don’t have great talent…or at least close to an equal amount of talent to the team lining-up against your team…you are going to have a hard time winning football games even if you are the next coming of Knute Rockne!

That’s a pretty tough schedule that the Bulls have to face in 2017 even before they get into MAC Conference play and if Leipold knows what is good for him he will have Buffalo at least…

3 – 1

…when they begin MAC play on September 30 at Kent State or this could be a very LONG season for the Bulls!

Lance Leipold might be able to survive another sub-.500 season at Buffalo but that doesn’t mean we won’t have his ass on the Hot Seat if the Bulls don’t start playing better football in 2017!

#10 Hot Seat Head Coach – David Beaty, Kansas

We don’t have a clue why Kansas hired David Beaty to be their head coach in 2015 but then we don’t have a Damn clue why Kansas hired Charlie Weis to coach the Jayhawks in 2012 so we are talking about an AD at Kansas that in our opinion…

Has No Damn Clue What He Is Doing

…relative to the Kansas football program, and if we had been the Kansas AD after firing Turner Gill we would have hired an up-and-coming coach on the FCS level that had an offense that would scare the Hell out of the rest of the Big 12 Conference but then that would take…

Real Common Sense

….and NO ONE with Real Common Sense would have hired Charlie Weis to coach the Kansas football team…PERIOD!

In TWO seasons on the job at Kansas Davie Beaty has posted records of…

Overall: 2 – 22

Big 12: 1 – 17

…and those TWO wins were against:

Rhode IslandTexas

LOL! Oh Charlie Strong how in the Hell did your Texas team lose to a Kansas team that has won….

7 Football Games

…in the last FIVE football seasons and if you are now thinking the folks making the Football Decisions in Kansas….

With a pretty weak non-conference slate to start the season Kansas should have a decent shot of having at least TWO wins when Big 12 Conference play begins on September 23 against West Virginia at home in Lawrence, but then who the Hell knows with these Jayhawks who could easily post another…

2 – 10

…season in 2017 and if we had to guess we will go with Jayhawks going….

2 – 10

…in 2017!

Here’s the REAL kicker about the Kansas head coaching job….after winning TWO football games in TWO seasons on the job Kansas gave head coach David Beaty a contract extension through the 2021 season!

If we were fans of Kansas football we would have on the speed dial on our phones the number to a Lawrence area mental hospital after reading some of the quotes by Kansas AD Zenger in the above article….but then that’s just our opinion from the “far outside!”

Could David Beaty possibly keep his job if Kansas went 2 – 10 in 2017 and survive to coach the Jayhawks in 2018?

This is Kansas Football we are talking about here so that would be a BIG YEP!
